Are you pulling out Christmas decorations this weekend and decking the halls!?!? Need something sweet to help get the family in the Christmas spirit!?!? Try this simple and fast two ingredient Peppermint Bark recipe! It will make you want to dance around the Christmas tree! This one is my family’s FAVORITE! The recipe is just as delicious as Martha Stewart’s Peppermint Bark, but a bit simpler. You’ll love it, too!

I always like to have my three Sweet B’s help with this part!!! The candies need to be unwrapped and placed in a strainer.

Pour the chocolates in a microwave safe bowl and heat at 70% for 1 minute, stir, then repeat heat for 10 second intervals until melted. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate…it does burn and get dried out if heated for too long.

Place the strainer over a bowl and use the end of a rolling pin to pound the peppemints into small pieces and dust. (We like crunchy pieces, so we use a larger strainer. You can personalize it and choose the texture of your Peppermint Bark).

Add the peppermints to the smooth melted white chocoloate until mixed.

While the chocolate is still hot and spreadable, layer a thin coat of the mix over a cookie sheet covered with wax paper.

UPDATE: My friend Deanne at Five Brothers One Sister suggested also making the bark with milk chocolate or dark chocolate for an assortment of different simple treats so I wanted to share that with you, too!!!

I’m loving this! I’m a huge fan of two-ingredient ANYTHING because it’s less I have to worry about. And peppermint bark is my fave! This would be great to bring to a holiday party, thank you for sharing! I’m pinning this for sure

Okay, seriously! I may have to spend the rest of the month sampling different variations of my FAVORITE Christmas candy!!! Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to share!!! I totally appreciate your additions and can’t wait to make another batch!!!

I make it with the Wilton white candy drops that u can buy cheaply at Michael’s and Hobby Lobby and on sale this time of year. I use a capful of peppermint extract, one pkg of the candy drops, and about a dzn crushed starlight peppermint candies. People beg me for it every year and put it in coffee and cocoa. U can put it in the freezer for about 3 minutes or so and it hardens immediately. This year I will drizzle some milk chocolate over some batches for fun.

I made dark, milk and white chocolate bark last year and wrapped it up as gifts. I can’t remember who I gave these gifts to, but I remember doing it…. I was so excited about how easy they were to do. I had a really hard time with the milk chocolate though and don’t recommend doing it. It did not melt well at all. I do it in a double boiler rather than the microwave because you can keep track of what’s going on better than in the micro. Found you at the chic and crafty party!
